Made to measure screws! I thought Henry Ford was the last man to make that mistake, and the Model T was before World War 2.

A wonder how much Apple paid to have this drivel written. I have been in manufacturing supply for 20 years and those parts would not have stopped production when all that was needed was to order them for the final assembly. And Apple with its trillions could not have figured that out?

There's you problem! AFAIK desktops have 3 standard screws. Colossal, self-tapping screws for case fans. Coarse ones for power supplies and motherboards. Fine ones for drives.
